A 45kt tornado in the middle of a severe thunderstorm sounds suspect... Plus I don't know how you'd get any notable "rotation" damage as they indicate with wind speeds that low. And the last paragraph says all the damage is laid out in one direction. If you see the "final report" from their weather bureau I'd be interested in looking at the link.

A microburst??

"From my observations, it did not have the characteristics of a tornado. It seemed more like a very sharp gust of wind coming from one direction, as all damage is from one way. It all happened very fast, all within 30 seconds I think."

Sounds like damage from a microburst. That's my guess!!
